Amazing list of Bush's *botched* comments in '04
Here are just a few of Bush's gaffes in '04:

The Dumbest Things President Bush Said in 2004
10) "I want you to know. Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me." —Nashville, Tenn., May 27, 2004

9) "Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling." —Washington, D.C., Jan. 23, 2004

8) "Free societies are hopeful societies. And free societies will be allies against these hateful few who have no conscience, who kill at the whim of a hat." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 17, 2004

7) "I want to thank the astronauts who are with us, the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the young of our country." —Washington, D.C. Jan. 14, 2004

6) "We will make sure our troops have all that is necessary to complete their missions. That's why I went to the Congress last September and proposed fundamental — supplemental funding, which is money for armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel." —Erie, Pa., Sept. 4, 2004

5) "After standing on the stage, after the debates, I made it very plain, we will not have an all-volunteer army. And yet, this week — we will have an all-volunteer army!" —Daytona Beach, Fla., Oct. 16, 2004 (Watch video)

4) "Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a — you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 6, 2004 (Watch video)

3) "I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft." —second presidential debate, St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 8, 2004 (Watch video)

2) "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004 (Watch video)

1) "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004 (Watch video)

Those are just the http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushquotes/a/topbushisms2004.htm">top ten and here are http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushisms2004.htm">more

Does this show that the MSM was complicit during the 2004 election?

"Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling."

6. The MSM would have had no time to cover
the terror alerts had they covered and analyzed all of Bush's gaffes in 2004.

Great list.

Bush: Yet you've got to recognize there are limits to how much corn can be used for ethanol. I mean, after all, we got to eat some. And animals have got to eat. (link)

7. Oh yeah
Terra! Terra! Terra!

Now when was the last time we had one of those alerts ? We had them almost every month during the election, John Kerry would speak TRUTH, Bush would call for a TERRA alert. The media went along and kissed Bush's dumb arse.
